[Verse 1]
She said, “see that shelf of curiosity?”
Dust on the spine, but it’s calling me
Little deeper in the dark, where the quiet glows
Silence grows, but the mind, it knows
Old maps rolled like sleeping snakes
Margins full of half-formed takes
Bookmarks bent where I lost my place
Still feel the heat of another mind’s chase
[Chorus]
Here begin the archives
Here begin the libraries
Here the thoughtful conversations
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
(let it rise, let it rise)
[Verse 2]
Scroll past gold that was paid in lies
Click-bait teeth in a friendly smile
I’ve been drowning in a thousand feeds
Starving on a plate of speed
So I walk down aisles that remember me
Ink on my hands, I can finally breathe
Every page like a pulse in the floor
Every question opening a secret door
[Chorus]
Here begin the archives
Here begin the libraries
Here the thoughtful conversations
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
(keep it low, keep it wise)
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna chase that chatter
I just wanna chase what matters
Little deeper
little deeper
into all these quiet voices gathered
[Chorus]
Here begin the archives
Here begin the libraries
Here the thoughtful conversations
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
Where learning starts to outweigh noise
(where learning starts, where learning starts)
